| july 2011 release ; killer split-lp offering a side each by these two obscure contemporary new zealand aggregates ...
nova scotia does wonderful things from within the “free rock” spectrum, providing 18 minutes of car-crash drums, broken-reed clarinet, and errant electronics that are as beguiling as the best handful of dust side(s) ... eye seems to thrive in a similarly pungent basement-pit (fidelity-wise ; this is all recorded in-situ, in real-time, mic’s up in the rafters) albeit with more of a sense of micro-tonal dread dotting the land-scrap ...
killer split ; haven’t heard anything this grotesque from over yonder down under way in quite some time ... harkens back to the gnarlier end of kiwi-splosion of the early noughties ... |

tbt011 – nova scotia / eye – “a million corpses of dead bees” b/w “high road”
tipped bowler returns to the fertile soil of new zealand to cull two choice improvisations. on the a-side, wellington’s nova scotia delivers “a million corpses of dead bees,” an eighteen minute free-rock burner. growing from violin sine-squeak and distant shortwave, the piece gains momentum with its patient drumming and resolves into a saxophone swarm shot through with synthetic scrabble.
on the reverse, dunedin’s eye comes off colder and more aggressive. “high road” throttles the listener with schnitzler-ian electronics, militant percussion, and guitar strangulation before collapsing into coda of cymbal taps and glassy string-work.
rigorous yet unbound, these pieces shine a light on a musical community few of us can witness firsthand. issued in an edition of 250 150-gram black lps in elegant black-and-white matte sleeves screened with consummate skill. |
